Photo Exhibit In Richmond

April 15, 1990

RICHMOND — "Vanishing Presence," an exhibition examining the metaphysical qualities of photographic time in the work of 12 contemporary photographers from North America and Europe, will be on view at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts April 24-June 17.

Those whose works are in show, which is organized by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, allude to realities beneath the surface of everyday appearances in their photographs, through such techniques as time and multiple exposures, sequential photographs, and blurred and out-of-focus effects.

The exhibition's public opening will be preceded on April 23 by a members' lecture at 6 p.m. and a members' preview at 7 p.m.

The museum is on the Boulevard at 2800 Grove Ave. The galleries are open Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. (Thursday evenings until 10) and Sunday 1-5 p.m. Suggested admission donation is $2; members, their guests, children and the elderly are admitted free.
